Cycles trilogy - Together, these pieces invite viewers to look deeper—beyond the surface—to appreciate the underlying cycles that define our world.
Cycle of Light - 24 x32 in - 61x81cm - 2025
In the final piece of the series, Light – Day and Night, I explore the dynamic cycle of light. This textile collage reflects the interplay between sunlight and moonlight through thoughtful variations in color and value, presenting a visual contrast between the warmth of day and the coolness of night.
Village - Integrating series - 42 x 22 in - 107x56cm-2024
In exploring integration, I have chosen a subject that I find deeply fascinating.
The blending of Latin American art with European modernism has been a captivating process that has produced a diverse range of artistic expressions. Throughout the 20th century, Latin American artists incorporated elements of movements such as Cubism and Surrealism, skillfully adapting them to local traditions to reflect their distinct cultural and social realities.
Inspired by these artists, I´ll make my interpretation in three pieces for this series: Village, Jungle, and Symbols.

WATER - Conversing with Earth series - 24x32inches - 81 x 61cm- 2024
In this new piece in the series, I will talk to the earth about the cycle of water in a monochrome blue palette. I suggest falling water and ascending vapor in a textile collage representation. As in Seasons, I worked mostly with hand-dyed and commercial fabric scraps
Written with broken Tiles -Trencadis II - 36 x 24 inches - 81 x 61cm - 2024
Trencadís is a type of mosaic made by reusing irregular ceramic fragments. Despite the passage of time, the loss of pieces and fractions of colour, the result seems alive, in motion, in constant transformation. What remains of these works of art preserves this spirit. They show us how to build from broken pieces and make new use of the elements, both in art and life.

The arrival - Ithaka series - 43 x 29 inches - 109 x 74 cm - 2024
As in the poem that inspired this series, it is the journey that counts, the inspiration,
the work, the rejections, and the many changes during the creative process.
I have depicted what I believe to be the various aspects of our way to Ithaka. This final piece represents home, arriving in the autumn garden after swift voyages, rugged mountains, and green valleys.
RHODODENDRON DANCE - Upcycled series
Too many pieces are piling up in my studio and I'm beginning to look at them with different eyes. Do they have a different story to tell?
Perhaps they can become the dancing petals I see when I look out of my window, playing with the light and wind, announcing that spring is here.Hand-dyed and commercial cotton fabric, acrylic paint, machine stitched
33 x 35 inches - 84 x 89 cm - 2024
REINVENTED CITYSCAPE - Upcycled series - 27 x 36 inches -69 x 91cm - 2024
Too many pieces are piling up in my studio and I'm beginning to look at them with different eyes. Do they have another story to tell? A new beginning for them and me. Upcycling, building new from old. I thought a cityscape would be a good start for this coming series.
Made with hand-dyed and commercial cotton fabrics, machine stitched.
SOMEWHERE BEYOND
This hand-dyed whole cloth is very different from the work I've been doing for the past few years, except for the touch of raw edge appliqué,
It represents a fantasy landscape with a dreamy quality into which I would like to retreat to relax and feel free. Hand-dyed cotton fabric, machine stitched32,5 x 31in -82 x 79cm - 2024
